Landreths' Sweet Peas 



(See Next Page.) 

 Sow in permanent location, in single row, two 

 seeds to the inch, half -ounce of seeds to 

 every yard of row; cover one inch deep. 



The whole world is engaged in a further develop- 

 ment of the Sweet Pea — a development as to size, 

 color and stability, or firmness of form. Horti- 

 cultural Congresses are called together in London, 

 Paris, Berlin and American cities at appropriate- 

 seasons to admire the new forms, and to pass awards 

 of merit to the credit of the successful breeder of 

 new types. 



The American strains are the equal of any; so 

 superior that more Sweet Pea seed is grown in the 

 United States than aU the rest of the world. 



Sweet Peas can be grown as easily as the common 

 garden Peas, simply requiring room and early 

 starting — ^planted even before the frost is out of 

 the ground, sometimes the preceding Autumn, as. 

 with deep roots in a deep, rich sofl the season of 

 blooming is lengthened. They do best when 

 trained to trestles made of string or wire. They 

 should be thinned out about one inch apart in rows,, 

 and if in parallel rows the rows should be five (5> 

 feet apart. 



Any cultivator of Sweet Peas may be the fortunate 

 one to discover a true golden-yellow, heretofore not 

 yet found. There are lemon-tinted ones, but not 

 an actual yellow. The finder of it among any lot 

 of Seed Peas will be a prize-taker. Who knows 

 but that the grower of one hundred vines may find 

 it before the grower of one thousand vines or an 

 acre patch. 



Sweet Peas present a wide range of colors and, 

 therefore,^ are most attractive by reason of their 

 various tints — really every color excepting a true 

 yellow. 



Sweet Peas have a blooming period of about four 

 weeks, consequently to provide for a longer season 

 of flowering it is advisable, where garden space 

 permits, to make four or five sowings about two 

 weeks apart, making the first sowing before the 

 frost is out of the ground. But the blooming 

 season is only partially fixed according to date of 

 sowing, for Nature is disposed to run flowering 

 time much together, whatever may have been the 

 date of sowing the seeds.
